Could also work the other way and wants Barnsley to lose, but while it’s fair to question their competence it’s probably unfair to question their integrity

For something completely different we could try putting O’Dowda in a midfield 3 to hopefully provide a little pace whilst having James there to cover for him

Can’t stop this thing we started - Bryan Adams

With the lack of any real stewarding at West Brom on Saturday i saw quite a few beer bottles in the away end, needless to say none got thrown around

Good for him, I’ve never understood how who someone loves or is attracted to makes any difference to anybody apart from them. I see lots of high profile players and clubs have reached out to him offering solidarity and congratulations which is both nice to see and also a little sad that it’s still necessary in this day and age and is a reminder that taking the knee is taking a stand against any form of discrimination rather than as a separate political statement But now it’s out in the open what I’m more interested in is, is he any good although we seem fairly well stocked for left backs at the moment

I had that yesterday and ended up with people stood in front of me in my row, no stewards to be seen for the entire game despite the stairs being completely blocked with people

I don’t mean stereotype a certain type of fan but at the back behind the goal we’re lots of younger teenage supporters where lots of the chanting was coming from.Although there was zero stewarding in that area as i even had people stood in front of me in the same row which is ridiculous and the exits were completely blocked with people and i also saw a few beer bottles in that area too I would add at one point they were waving around a half broken seat, where it came from I’ve no idea but one brainless individual after waving it over their head decided to throw it towards those in front As has been said before a lot of these don’t regularly attend away games

He was doing some fitness work in the warm up before the Bournemouth game so assumed he was injured rather than out of favour as he wouldn’t have been there otherwise

I get the negativity but things like the medical emergency in our end at half time make you realise it’s just a game at the end of the day That being said we were architects of our own downfall today and a result like this has been coming tbf

Absolutely can’t speak for what goes on behind the scenes but i like to get in the ground early and watch the warm up and even to my uneducated eye it looked like Simpson and Fleming were essentially doing the same thing so guess it was only a matter of time I wish him well for the future and hopefully he remains healthy and comes back into the game in some capacity

Game would’ve been different of course

I kinda think the manner of how tonight ended will be a turning point we’ll look back in months and years to come, maybe it had to happen like this to give us the mental toughness we need Given how little fight there was Saturday there was clearly a reaction tonight so we clearly do have players and management that care but the reality is we’re a work in progress and playing at home at the moment is becoming more of a confidence thing and the players are almost expecting something like tonight to happen

Sorry if i sound like a happy clapper but having digested how that game finished i wonder if how we lost is going to be a turning point in our fortunes and we’ll look back at tonight and realise it was a blessing in disguise

Absolutely if and with us it’s always a big if we score the penalty it’s 2-0 and a totally different game then maybe we’d have looked more comfortable

Given all that went on it’s hardly surprising and we probably got off pretty lightly but the repercussions are likely to last more than just that one game, as it was reported at the weekend that UEFA are likely to back Spain and Portugal for the 2030 World Cup bid

For those who assume the Keegan years were Newcastle in their natural position..

Would this soul be regularly getting gates of 17,000 before Keegan turned up and was allowed to spend big to stop him having a hissy fit and walking out which eventually happened anyway? Their fans seem to like rewriting history and playing the victim, there seems to be a reason why they haven’t won anything for donkeys years and it’s not Ashley..

I really don’t get the narrative of how Newcastle fans have been so badly treated and how they deserve so much more, it just seems they’re happy paying £300-400 for a season ticket and expect the owner to pay multi millions every season whereas he seems to have tried to run them to be sustainable with the odd PR disaster thrown in They’re currently where they deserve, Bruce might not be everyone’s cup of tea but he’s kept them there despite their so called support while they continue playing the victim

Wasn’t Bailey Wright a two match ban?

Was more referring to claims like these from the Derby side, it makes no difference to me whether he was involved or not but this interview does kinda prompt more questions than answers and maybe he’d have been better advised not to say anything or leave it to his book

What was interesting though was he listed those who he knew who his friends are but there’s no mention of our current number nine..

The interesting part for me is he wasn’t the only passenger and so his only crime was not wearing a seatbelt and getting injured. It was always made out it was only the three of them involved whereas it sounds like there was more than that and it got swept under the carpet. Also doesn’t look like the team building exercise was very successful for them to all run off and leave him

Is that the one before it was closed was called the great British hamburger? And everything was served on plates

Wasn’t helped by their incompetent chief exec if i remember rightly

Birmingham away is as well
